Description

The path first leads via a short, steeper ascent through wooded terrain to a fork in the path; keep left here towards Gaistalalm  and from there follow the forest road leisurely into the Gaistal. At the Gaistalalm junction, keep right. This is followed by the winding and steep ascent towards Rotmoosalm (see also Bikeroute Rotmoosalm). At the Predigtstuhl junction, park your bike and continue on foot. Across lush green grassy slopes, you reach a vegetated saddle, from where you pass between rugged rocks to the Predigtstuhl. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view. Return to the starting point via the same route.
